The strong stocks of 2012 Q1
What is stock market update of 2012 Q1:
As you all know all the doom and gloom of the stock market is now gone and everything is rosy. Greece is now patched up and ready to go with massive debt restructuring that happened last month. Now we have to wait for which of the EU’s counties will come up that has a debt problem.
You see markets usually rally on election years and this year there are over 40 elections in the world! This year so far has been very positive. We will see how long more it will go this rally that is.
USA data seems to be positive as well.
You have to make sure you still are cautious with your investments, and for those of you that get into stock market now and are beginners, have to be very careful what to invest in. Try not to buy anything that is way to up unless you are really sure. Apple stock might come to mind.

And the stock market recovers?
Past few days have been recovery days and the markets has almost recovered all its loses after the US was downgraded. Was the underlying problem fixed? No. This shows how some investors are clueless, they panic sell and buy back when everyone is doing the same. We still have our major problems in the world and nothing is fixed.
As a beginner you can learn that not to panic when the stocks are falling and don’t follow the rest of the people. Maybe this creates more opportunities to get some puts when the market rallies for a bit more.

Today many European countries put a ban on short selling. This included France, Italy, Spain etc… . Short selling is a perfect healthy way of trading for stock traders. This goes to show you how clueless these politicians are and the extend they go to put band aids on this failing global economy. After the week crash that ended in Aug 6 2011, the stocks have had 1/3 of the volume of before. What does this tell you?
Bans Imposed on Some European Short Selling
The only solution is for most of Europe and USA to go to a recession and a long period of austerity and come up stronger and let the economy fix itself naturally than throwing stimulus and money at bad debts. Canada had to do this in the 1990 and it came out strong.
What this means for the people who are learning to trade on stock market? Well this is a perfect opportunity to make money on the volatility (we recommend having more put and short selling than longs and call options). You can easily see how a simple news can be bad for certain economies or single companies or even for the whole world in one shot (where everything goes up and down in a few minutes).
Relax, take caution, diversify and make money by shorting stocks that have gone up way too high and long the ones you think are beaten down very bad but have good potential.

As many thing are still unknown for markets and adding uncertainly — US debt ceiling, EU debt problems and a solution, few things have caused a rally:
Apple, Coca Cola and IBM had good reports. Seems like US corporation are doing great while the country is suffering. Copper is all time high as well as gold. Oil is hovering around $96. China keeps fueling the world economy.
As a beginner investor you should know that markets don’t like uncertainly and volatility. Any problems in any country can take the whole world market down these days no matter how rosy the rest of the countries are. This is something you will learn over your course of leaning the stock market game and investment. These volatility could be great for day traders on the other hand.
